The major interest of our book is to present a complete overview of robotic microassembly: from microworld modeling, and handling strategies to the design of microassembly robotic devices and microassembly methods. The increase of Microsystems functionalities often requires the integration of various technologies used for mechanical, optical and electronic subsystems in order to achievea unique system. These different technologies have usually process incompatibilities and the whole microsystem (MEMS) can not be obtained monolithically and then requires microassembly steps. Microassembly of MEMS based on micrometric components is one of the most promising approaches to achieve highperformance MEMS. Two approaches are currently developed for microassembly: selfassembly and robotic microassembly. In the first one, the assembly is highly parallel but the efficiency and the flexibility still stay low. The robotic approach has the potential to reach precise and reliable assembly with high flexibility. The book focuses on this second approach and will take a bearing of the corresponding microrobotic issues.
